Max Verstappen is on the verge of a race ban after picking up too many penalty points, currently sitting on 9.
Drivers are allowed to pick up 12 points in 12 months, with an automatic one-race ban being triggered once 12 points are reached, with Kevin Magnussen becoming the first driver banned under the system introduced in 2014.
Verstappen has made it to after the Austrian GP without a ban, despite moving to 11 points following his Spanish GP collision with George Russell.
On June 30th, 2025, he lost two penalty points, but still only dropped to nine, meaning he is a Russell-esque incident away from a ban.
The article below showing how many F1 penalty points each 2025 driver has will be updated after every grand prix in the season to reflect the latest standings with points being added, or expired ones being removed.
